“I had the pleasure of working with Melissa for several years while in the Just Walk Out Organization (JWO) as she was the product owner for the software engineering team that I managed (she reported through the product management chain, not me). I really enjoyed working with Melissa as she is a passionate, genuine individual that puts in 120% every day. She was a great teammate which was echoed not just by me, but also my engineering team and the larger organization that she supported. On the technical product side, Melissa brought a lot of value to the organization. During her time on the team, I relied on her as a subject matter expert for several or the most complicated pieces of tech that we owned. I knew that I could rely on her because I'd seen her quickly ramp up in similar spaces before. While this is notable on its own, the fact that this was in JWO is even more impressive since the tech is more specialized and cuts across more domains than in most tech companies (computer vision, 3D Modeling, Operations, ...). This is a true testament to Melissa's abilities to dive into the details quickly and understand the product from top to bottom. Through Melissa's ability to quickly understand the product, she was able to identify numerous simplifications to the product that resulted in impactful reductions to our main business metrics. She regularly sought feedback from other product managers and my engineering team to question her assumptions and to make sure that we were building the best product possible. Any organization that brings Melissa onboard will be lucky to do so.”
